Which answer choice rewrites this sentence so that it is in the active voice? In each inning, at least one strike was thrown by
the pitcher. A) In each inning, strikes were thrown by the pitcher. B) In each inning, the pitcher threw at least one strike. C) At least one strike was thrown by the pitcher in each inning. D) Strikes were thrown by the pitcher at least once in each inning.
B. The sentence in the active voice is: "In each inning, the pitcher threw at least one strike". In the passive voice, the active subject, i.e. the subject that performs the action, precedes the verb. Tenses formed with the auxiliary verb "to be" and the past participle, followed by the preposition "by" when the performer of the action is explicitly mentioned, are not used in the active voice.
